I don't understand the rating this one has. The story is completely forgettable:
There's this nightmare Sam has at the beginning that's never even mentioned. Dean tells Sam there's a case they should work on while saying he won't eat veggie bacon (I don't need to say it was poorly written). Dean thinks the school's mascot is cool, who's supposed to be a very intelligent kid, but that doesn't matter because he only appears like two times and has no dialogues. Some girl gets kidnapped. Sam and Dean see some footage and they know who did it by looking at the license plate. They go to the house where the girl is being kept. Some unimportant dialogues go by and turns out the vampire was the lacrosse kid all along (who by the way had a scene with a girl that acted like she was the vampire but three minutes after she appeared on camera they knew she wasn't, because she had braces, then she never appeared again). After a quick encounter, the parents who supposedly loved very much their son, kind of agree that they'll frame him to be the kidnapper, and that he'll go with Sam and Dean (it's possible they don't know Sam and Dean are gonna chop their son's head off, but I mean c'mon). Sam and Dean take him to the woods and Dean chops his head off. Then the episode for Sam and Dean actually starts whent they have a believable conversation about Rowena and Jack dying, but that only lasts a couple of minutes before the episode returns to the other story that's been developed here, which lasts about 15 min. and involves Becky and God. Basically God feels bad and needs Becky to praise him and make his ego feel better. She tells him he can only feel good if he writes something, so he does, but Becky doesn't like it that much. So God writes a dark and hopeless ending and then disappears Becky and her family. This story happens intermittently with the other one.
When Becky remarks that God wrote a lazy story I actually thought God was writing what happened in the other story and I think the writers thought that too but then that idea was kind of dropped when God writes what's supposed to be the finale. Storytelling and editing didn't help making that clear, so who knows. In the end this episode brings you no new information other than Sam and Dean feeling sad and God maybe starting to act like God and not like a powerless, depressed teenager.
Acting was fine for the main characters in this episode, they didn't have to much to work with. Cinematography was as it normally is in Supernatural episodes. Editing was mediocre. Writing killed this episode.
A 5 is the most accurate rating: insufficient and they should try again.
